Candy, toy and pop shop is planned for Valley West Mall

Candy Clubhouse, a candy, pop and novelty shop, is in development for Valley West Mall, on the lower level near Pro-Image Sports. Both businesses are owned by Paul Shillingstad.

The Candy Clubhouse in Valley West Mall will be similar to this one in Rapid City, S.D.

Candy Clubhouse will have 250 kinds of soft drinks, including several old-fashioned labels such as Hires, Crush, Dad’s, Faygo and others, and many flavors, from the traditional to the novel, such as bacon, buffalo wings, cucumber, pumpkin and coffee. Mexican Coke and Pepsi also will be available.

All of the pops are made with cane sugar, not corn syrup, Shillingstad said.

Candy, including about 150 varieties sold in bulk, 72 flavors of Jelly Bellies and old-fashioned candy bars such as Clark Bars, also will be available. Bulk chocolates and imported and fine chocolates will be available, as will 14 choices of gourmet caramel apples made in South Dakota.

Also to be sold there are toys such as slinkies, hula hoops and sling shots, and novelty gifts such as hand buzzers and whoopee cushions.

Shillingstad said customers will find about 3,000 items. He also has one other Candy Clubhouse, which opened in Rapid City, S.D., in September.
